The file /etc/resolv.conf lists the nameservers the machine will query. A line such as "nameserver 0.0.0.0" just means "use the name service running locally." It sounds like you might not have a db.cache file, which lists the root name servers (those for the root domain ".") -- the nameservers your named should ask when it doesn't know where else to go. In your named.boot file you should have a line something like this cache . db.cache where db.cache is a file that lists the addresses of the root name servers. Scott
